Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"Each vintage in Napa allows us to refine and perfect our vineyard sourcing. We are constantly on the hunt for quality fruit as we continue to grow this project and that openness gives us right to first refusal with many growers who want to make one phone call to find a buyer. Our 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon continues to deliver complexity and depth representative of fruit that is usually destined for single-vineyard bottlings. Inky dark purple in the glass, this wine lends aromatics of ripe cherry, dusky violets, and baking spice. The near-sweetness of roasted meats on the nose causes a mouthwatering reaction. Rich, opulent and full-bodied, the initial impact rewards the sip with a coating of dense marionberry compote, toasted oak and baking chocolate. Fine tannins frame and blend with a balanced acidity to create a lasting finish. This wine is clearly ready to shine out of the gate, and has the horsepower to drink well into the future if a bottle can be tucked away in the cellar."

91 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The forward 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley combines Pope Valley fruit with barrels that didn't make the cut for the single-vineyard wines, totaling 9,500 cases this vintage. Herbal overtones join black cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate offers rich, almost sweet-tasting fruit, finishing supple and easy. Enjoy this terrific value on the young side." -JC, 6/12/25
